We tackle all kinds of arguments against traveling, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>But it&#8217;s so dangerous everywhere else but here at home!<\/li>\n<li>I can&#8217;t fit all the clothes I need for three months in my luggage!<\/li>\n<li>I have no one to travel together with!<\/li>\n<li>I seriously can&#8217;t afford it!<\/li>\n<li>&#8230; and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also find a collection of useful and mostly legal tips and tricks for traveling frugally.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, you should\u00a0get going sooner rather than later. And reading this book will get you started.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, you even just reading this probably means that you have already started.
